Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ZoneTime at 5.0 against Nightstand's 4.5. ZoneTime also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Nightstand's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
